Tucson Virtual Road Trip Kick Off

Hello! My name is Reyna and I’ll be your guide during the Road to Tucson Virtual Road trip. I’m really excited for my first trip to the Gem and Mineral Show and I have packed my schedule so I’ll be able to show you as much as I can! I’ll be checking out all of the hottest new beads and products as well as interesting fossils and minerals

To start off my trip, I woke up at 4am this morning to catch an 8:30am flight from Seattle to Phoenix. I received a phone call 10 minutes later informing me that my flight has been delayed 3 hours and I’ll be arriving in Tucson at 5pm. I had been planning on going to the flea market first thing to catch all of the fun beads and other interesting pieces but I’ll have to try to fit in later on because I do think you would love to see these products. The good news is that the rest of the Artbeads team is already there so no matter what I’ll still have some great pictures to share with you!

On Thursday and Friday I’ll be running around to different shows wearing a purple Artbeads t-shirt! I’ll have some great giveaways and prizes to give to you so if you see me please say hi! I want to give away all the prizes I’ve brought to clear room in my suitcase for all of the beads I’m planning on bringing back! Also, if you’re wearing purple when I see you, you’ll be eligible to win an extra prize! So be sure to wear purple and also keep an eye out for my purple shirt!

For the Virtual Road trip, I’ll be updating Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and the Artbeads blog so it will seem like you’re right here with me the entire time! We’ve made it easy for you to follow along by combining all of these social media outlets in our Virtual Road Trip page!
